“It was my first time using Rover for a last minute booking while traveling. Simone was great! Thank you so much for easing my mind while enjoying my time away!”
2. Kim S.
“Kim was perfect taking care of my two cats for a week. I trust her completely and will ask for her services the next time I go away. When I got home I expected my cats to be waiting for me at the door like they usually do when they hear me, but they were so relaxed I had to go find them and wake them up to say hello. She sent me photos or video of them every day which was great. They like Kim a lot too!!!”
3. Kimberly B.
“Kim was wonderful with our kitty Sofia! Sofia met her every time at the door and was so happy to see her. Sofia ate very well and was very well taken care of by Kim. I would highly recommend Kim to drop in and spend time with your kitty ❤️❤️”

5. viktoryia s.
“Viktoryia and her daughter are the best dog sitters ever! They watched my dog numerous times for several nights at a time, and took excellent care of him. He was always so excited to go to their house, which made it easier to leave him. They are very communicative and responsive and will send photo updates. They cared for my dog like their own. You could tell they really cared for and loved him. I highly recommend!!”

“Your pets might love Michelle more than you ;) Michelle has a genuine love for animals and is a great communicator, reliable, and full of heart. I'd highly recommend entrusting your love ones to her, she will take care of them as if they are her own.”
12. Helen W.
“Helen is a true dog lover. She is able to work with all sizes of dogs. She has worked with a trainer and has a very good understanding of animal behavior and how to work with difficult behaviors. Helen taught me that the dog walk is not just bonding/training time between dog and walker but also an exciting sensory experience that is very important in very dog’s day. She is very dependable no matter what the weather is like. If the dog will go out she will too! She will be an excellent addition to Rover.”
13. Nadya H.
“Our family has known Nadya since she was a young girl. She grew up in our neighborhood and was a good friend of our oldest daughter. She has always had a love of animals, which included her family dog Travis. She even worked at the local Humane Society for a short time. We hired her several times over the years to watch our pets when we were on vacation. At that time, she was responsible for 1 dog, 1 cat and 3 guinea pigs. Our favorite memory is when she sent us a video of our dog opening up her wrapped treat on Christmas morning, while we visited family in Florida. It was hard to say goodbye to Nadya when she moved to a different state. Rest assured, your furry friend(s) will be in very capable hands with Nadya.”
14. Anna Marie B.
“AnnaMarie has walked and dog sit my dogs for at least 6 years. She really cares about them and follows all written instructions to a T. My dogs love her and are always excited when she comes. I also have Guinea birds outside. She takes care of them too. I never worry when I am away. She gets an A+”
15. Caitlyn S.
“Caitlyn is extremely professional, reliable, and adorable (she can’t help that, born that way!). I completely trust Caitlyn to thoughtfully take care of Tora when I am away from home. You will too!”
16. Monica L.
“Monica and her house are the perfect setup to watch your dog! Her house has a friendly dog and a large and secure yard for them to play in together. Monica is also a great communicator and its extremely apparent that she loves animals and will go to great lengths to make your pet feel at home. I can't recommend her enough!”
17. Kailea K.
“Kailea is an amazing pet sitter. She takes the time to make sure your pets are having fun and are comfortable. She stays longer for house visits if necessary and is always there for your pet. You can tell she has a genuine love for all animals.”
18. Mindee M.
“Mindee was an amazing visitor for our 3 month old puppy. We really appreciated your calm, kind, honest and respectful demeanor. You can tell she has an obvious love for our furry friends. Will definitely be using her services again.”
19. Erin F.
“I set up the appointment with Erin as an opportunity to meet and have an initial interaction. She immediately was focused on building a connection with my Bentley and by playing and interacting was already picking up on nuances of Bentley and showed a genuine interest and affection. I wouldn't hesitate to have Erin spend extended time with Bentley knowing he would be well taken care of. Think he's missing her already!”
20. Caroline T.
“Our cat Albert was in great hands with Caroline! She kept us in the loop (and laughing) with her thorough and colorful accounts and photos of her time with him. Albert is shy but bonded with her immediately. If Albert could give this review I’d guess he’d give five paws up without question. She is lovely and kind and I’d trust her to care for any furry (or scaled or feathered!) creature of mine.”
